Trend Alert: Nida Azwer Statement Winter Jackets

For what is turning out to be one of the coldest winters Karachi has ever seen, Nida Azwer Atelier is one of the few design houses that got it right by predicting and preparing fashionably on the mark with the well timed release of a limited edition collection of hand stitched blazers, statement jackets, and authentic winter coats. We remembering freezing insufferably on New Year’s Eve wishing we had picked up one of these eclectic pieces. However it’s not too late to explore the selection that is as visually appealing as it is strategic since it seems single digit temperatures are here to stay for a while.

Whilst focusing on modest universal modern cuts such as flap collars, Chanel rounded necklines, and quilted stitching all quite marvelously delivered, the fabrics have also been carefully selected to compliment each style and include proper menswear suit material and jaquard. For the inner lining Nida’s exclusive silk digital prints have been used to add interest and her distinctive signature. Edgier elements feature Gold leather laser cut work patterns and detailed prints such as the warrior flap jacket depicting a battle scene in a water color blurred effect.

The quilted stitched edging is a particular favorite feature of ours demonstrating finesse in the pieces. The move to launch a retail collection of tailored essential outerwear was a risky one as the minutest flaw in fit can render a piece an official fashion catastrophe, however it is admirable to see young designers step out of their comfort zone and experiment with creative commercial wear.

The Nida Azwer range of winter jackets is now available in store in Karachi and Lahore with a limited selection retailing at her studio and at the label’s stockists. Visit the Nida Azwer Profile Page for more details.
